i am not a vampire but i only use dark mode
spirit of PmWiki pitting the deadening monotony of corporate software against raw
uncompromising freedom
this was never about money
it was about us against the system
that corporate system that kills the human spirit with closed-source locks
and software as a service subscriptions
we stand for something to those dead souls inching along the corporate freeways
we show them that the human spirit is still alive
don't expect to get rich writing GNU General Public License free software
you will never buy a beach house off PmWiki donations
out here on the edge of the source code
we are the ones who are truly free
happy as a
cat in a sunbeam
flea on a trampoline
squirrel in a peanut factory
bear scratching its a** against a friendly tree
mosquito at a nudist colony
nervous as a
long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs

The users who complain about the flaws in your product may seem annoying, but
they are on the whole probably your most valuable users. They complain because
they care, and I doubt a startup could ever get really big without users who
care a lot about the product.

On page WikiStylesPlus-Talk I asked:
> There is a link to a file 'wikicolorsplus.php' that is using '$SVGColors'.
> Can I change all the references of '$SVGColors' to the '$CSSColors' and adjust the colors?
> I do not want to make unauthoried changes that might be wrong.
> My current opinion all '$SVGColors' in the documentation should/could be eliminated/replaced.
> --gnuzoo 04/26
If I do not hear a response in a few days I will voluntarily make the changes.
Thanks,

> avoid unsafe-inline styles and possible security vulnerabilities
> Simply don't use WikiStyles
Would this idea make inline styles safe to use in PmWiki?
Is there PHP software to automatically on the fly replace all inline styles
with a class and css file and then send that to the browser, and yet not
modify the original source of the HTML?
Make PmWiki more beautiful
Documentation is good but not perfect.
Find commonly misspelled words in PmWiki. Search for them.
Edit every page in the results. Fix them.
Make sure they are not intentionally misspelled.
2 Examples
"seperate" should be spelled "separate"
"calender" should be spelled "calendar"
Could you please NOT "correct" British standard spelling like "colour" and "apologise"? This is not a typo or spelling mistake, it is the correct standard spelling for the native English speaker in their native language, and acceptable on this wiki. You can install this dictionary and enable spell check in both standards. It is generally not okay to change what other people write in discussions unless it is an obvious unintended typo, and don't assume it is a typo if it may not be one. In the core documentation, US English standard is preferred. In Cookbook documentation, the recipe author's standard is acceptable. In talk pages, discussions, questions, answers, the writers' standards are acceptable. --Petko
Correcting obvious spelling errors was my goal.
As you wish, I shall respect cookbook documentation
in the recipe author's standard.
Thank you for explaining this.

Question Authority
It is the responsibility of every citizen to question authority.
A most useful link for surveillance of all PmWiki pages is Site.AllRecentChanges
Check it every now and then, sometimes several times a day. It is great way to keep an eye on the PmWiki "benevolent dictator".
Obscurantism
obscurantism is opposition to the dissemination of knowledge
and as writing characterized by deliberate vagueness
Simple
that has been one of my mantras
focus and simplicity
simple can be harder than complex
you have to work hard to get your
thinking clean to make it simple
PmWiki is simple but you have to be a genius to understand the simplicity
To become really good at PmWiki learn this:
HTML CSS JavaScript PHP Regular Expressions Web Servers like Apache
Also learn everything there is to know about PmWiki itself at PmWiki Documentation Index
On average, anyone with a 3rd grade education should be able to do all this in about an hour.
How can it get any simpler than that?
Maybe it would be easier to understand if you added a few regular expressions.

Radical Ideas
Eliminate groups. This would make the wiki much less complicated. URLs would all look great.
Eliminate uploads. I never use the upload feature. It is just too easy to use SFTP to put an image/video/other into a directory.
In Ubuntu this is built right into the application named "Files". A Wiki is a website "anyone can edit", but all of the
sites I produce do not allow that.
